Abstract
A diving accessory is disclosed. The invention is comprised of a compact, lightweight fishing spear having two parts: a hollow main tube and a barbed spear. Said spear can be stowed inside the tube and the entire apparatus clipped to a diver when not in use. The invention can also be used as a poking stick (for self defense against large sea creatures), a tickling stick (for prodding prey out of small spaces), and as a camera monopole (by using the onboard shoe mount). An objective of the invention is to provide a compact, spearfishing device with multiple functions to enhance the diving experience.
